A Question and Answer by G H Lang and published by Classics.
QUESTION - Are not all true Christians caught up when Jesus comes? If not, who will be left behind? Jesus said, “Pray that you might be counted worthy to escape...” What does that mean?
ANSWER - “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21: 36.
The two preceding verses (Luke 21:34, 35) clarify this admonition. The people of God are cautioned against being careless in their Christian experience. The inference is that conditions will be such that many will grow careless and drift along with the spirit of the times. Weymouth’s translation says, “Take heed to yourselves, lest your souls be weighed down with self-indulgence and drunkenness or the anxieties of this life.” These very dangers are present to-day, and are very likely to continue through to the Rapture.
